The Quantos dosing system from Mettler Toledo has won the New Product Award 2009 from the Association of Laboratory Automation.
The prize was awarded in Palm Springs, California, at the Labautomation conference and exhibition.
Quantos dispenses with high precision up to 20 times faster than by hand - and with greatly improved safety.
The dispensing head, along with the storage container for 25, 75 or 250 error-free dispensing, is easily mounted onto the instrument and ready for immediate use.
An RFID (radio frequency identification) chip in the dispensing head stores information such as substance, ID, quantity and date for safety and traceability.
Quantos dispenses directly, accurately, and automatically into a great variety of containers at the touch of a button.
Its intelligent dispensing head includes a storage container for dispensing highly potent or hazardous powdery substances.
Thanks to the high-precision mechanism and intelligent electronics, the dispensing heads are perfectly adapted to the dispensing instrument.
Each dispensing step moves closer to the target weight without exceeding tolerances.
Quantos dispenses to 0.5mg with 0.005mg readability.
